Holy shit!  Buckshot ammo is hard to find right now.  I am well aware of scaricity of guns, mags, ammo & primers, but I didn't know people would horde buckshot.  

Anyway, can anyone help me find some tacticool ammo.  In particular, I am looking for Low Recoil Federal Flight control 8 or 9 pellet 00 buck. Part #s LE132, LE133, or LE133 00PR.  

Also looking for 20 gauge Federal Premium Vital Shok #2 or #3.  Having a hell of a time finding either.  I already googled and everything.  Partnumbers P256 or P258.

Thanks

Prices are going up some places because of increased demand so the 5 bucks for 5 rounds is getting a little closer to 6-7 bucks a box... ridiculous...

Get some of that stuff (or as much as you want for that matter) and get in good with your local wal-mart sporting goods clerk and try to see the manifests for incoming ammunition. That way you can buy out the competition. Also, buy up the Winchester 15 round Value-Packs. Sure its not the best, but at 15-20 ft it wont matter much.

It's getting so bad that gun shops are buying out the wal-marts where I live and stocking them at their stores for 100% mark-up

There are some online dealers that have some good stuff... Here is my stash of URL links... all are SOLD OUT... Keep checking them for instock...

No problem, check stores as often as possible and check online often. Call the company that you are going to be buying from and ask them when they expect the next shipment in and if you can back order your purchase.

Put some Fiocchi on backorder at Midway, not nearly as good as Flite Control but you have to grab what you can these days.

Hello Everyone I've been a lurker here on AR.com for a bit and have found a lot of great information. And with that said ...

If you're looking for Federal LE shotshells check out http://www.tds-us.com/ They have all the LE's in stock and are great do deal with. Unfortunately, however, there is a 5 box limit. You can place an order each day though if you don't mind the added shipping charges.

Another site I just thought of is http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/index.php/cName/12-gauge-buckshot and it shows it in stock.

I ordered a couple hundred rounds of slugs and it's going to be about two weeks from time of ordering to sitting on my porch.
